I had my follow up with my new Dr. and he was happy with my progress, but was not happy that I would use a small amount of Splenda in my morning decaf. He told me I was poisoning my body. Since I respect my new found Dr., I am kicking the artificial sweetener habit. Out came my unopened jar of Brown Rice Syrup.
It actually isn't that bad. It is less sweet than honey and agave nectar but it does have lots of calories. (150 calories per 2 TBSP) Not sure I want to go this route too often because I will start packing on the 15 pounds I have just lost. It tastes similar to honey but I'm not sure I like that particular taste in my morning cup of Joe.
He wants me to continue with the elimination diet and be more diligent about adding foods back in slowly. He also took me off my vitamin D. My last set of tests I was in normal range. (this hasn't happened in over 5 years!!!! Could it possibly be the new eating style?? I wonder) So off all supplements and vitamins with the exception of my antibiotic and probiotic.
I still remain gluten, dairy free and sugar free. I believe I am feeling much better without the gluten in my body. We'll see how things go. Now if I can only get my butt to the gym........................
